Almost two years ago, at a senior consultation held at the studio, a young lady from Jefferson High (and her mother) and a young man from Martinsburg High (and his mother) sat through my 30-minute presentation and tour. All the while, Matt (Martinsburg) and I were hitting it off, planning an epic soccer-based photo. Ashlyn (Jefferson) listened with great intent, and laughed along with Matt and I was we plotted how we would create his hero picture.
To make a long story shorter, you can read the recount of the original meeting here.
Well, on Saturday, Matt and Ashlyn came back to the studio with Matt’s family. We did some photos of his family, and then afterward did some portraits with just Matt and Ashlyn. While they were changing outfits at one point, I spoke with Matt’s mom and dad about their nearly two-year relationship. It was only then that I learned that Matt’s parents and Ashlyn’s parents have also become close, taking a couple of vacations and trips together. It’s been quite a two-year adventure.
In honor of their upcoming two-year anniversary together, here’s one of the shots from the session on Saturday.
